00:00Hello, friends! Let's start with something quite curious.
00:03Two Ukrainian interceptors recorded the same number of strategic attack drones, which were two flying without their heads.
00:10Apparently, these vultures from the horde had been damaged in previous interceptions.
00:14And somehow, the onboard navigation system managed to keep them flying.
00:19But as you can see, that situation was finally resolved by a pair of Ukrainian mosquitoes.
00:25These are a couple of excellent sequences of ambushes set by mosquitoes equipped with fiber-optic cables deployed as observation
00:32posts to monitor traffic along different roads in the rear of the invaders.
00:36Once they have completed their mission and their battery is about to run out, or when they find a target
00:42attractive enough, they promptly take off to go greet the visitors who have wandered into their operating area.
00:48Of course, the crew members of the vehicles don't appreciate so much attention, but come on, Ivan always seems to
00:54be a bit annoyed by these encounters.
00:57Maybe it's because of the hard fall he takes when performing the tactical evacuation to get out of the mosquitoes'
01:02flight path.
01:04A few days ago, I told you about the new remotely controlled Sky Sentinel anti-aircraft defense turrets equipped with
01:11Browning M2 heavy machine guns that Ukraine is installing around its cities to destroy the invaders' war drones.
01:18In this footage, unfortunately, we see how one of them, located on the outskirts of the city of Kharkiv, is
01:24damaged by a Russian attack quadcopter.
01:26This city is just a few kilometers from the front, so its outer defenses are within reach of Ivan's unmanned
01:32systems.
01:34But to take the bad taste out of your mouth, two pieces of good news.
01:38Within the context of President Zelensky's visit to London, the government of the United Kingdom announced that it will send
01:45Ukraine a new batch of long-range Storm Shadow Cruise missiles and they will speed up the delivery of more
01:51than 200 light multipurpose missiles, LMM, as part of an additional ÂŁ45 million package to strengthen Ukrainian defenses before winter.
02:01The announcement was made by Prime Minister Andy Burnham, after the meeting they had at his residence on Downing Street.
02:09The British government indicated that it considers Ukraine's use of long-range weapons against Russian facilities involved in attacks on
02:16the civilian population and critical infrastructure to be a defensive measure.
02:26In addition, it was confirmed that the delivery of light multipurpose LMM missiles will be accelerated, which have proven to
02:32be very effective against Garand drones powered by jet engines.
02:36The United Kingdom committed to delivering a package of 6,000 missiles of this type over a period of four
02:42years, but this is an additional batch to the units already committed, which are being produced at the Taylor's factory
02:47in Belfast.
02:48The Storm Shadow missiles are precision cruise missiles launched from the air by Ukrainian Sukhoid-24 bombers and have been
02:57designed to penetrate at low-altitude, layered air defense networks to reach 45 targets or high-value targets.
03:05These missiles have demonstrated their effectiveness on multiple occasions when it comes to neutralizing high-value targets in the Russian
03:11logistics chain, command centers and other critical infrastructure.
03:19On September 30, President Zelenskyy of the 3rd Army Corps command to meet with the commanders and fighters who are
03:26carrying out Operation Vivaldi in the Lyman sector in the north of the Donetskik region.
03:33This offensive toward it Russian plans to break through to the rear of the urban agglomeration of Slovyansk and Kramatorsk,
03:40stabilizing the front line in this critical sector.
03:43President Zelenskyy discussed with the commanders the specific needs of the units, in particular regarding artillery and economic compensation.
03:53And he highlighted the increasing role of ground robotic systems, which during Operation Vivaldi allowed Ukrainian forces to carry out
04:01high-risk tasks, minimizing direct exposure of personnel.
04:04The President gave instructions to further expand this capability, so that drones and robotic platforms increasingly take on the most
04:13dangerous missions on the front line.
04:16The operation showed that limited asymmetric advances supported by unmanned systems, electronic warfare and precise coordination can reverse previous Russian
04:26territorial gains and inflict a high cost on the invaders, even when facing numerically superior forces.
04:32During his visit, Zelenskyy also presented decorations to outstanding fighters of the 3rd Assault Brigade, the 60th and 125th Mechanized
04:41Brigades, the 21st Kraken, Unmanned Systems Regiment, and other attached formations.
04:47The President thanked the defenders for their service, and the results achieved, which have strengthened Ukraine's defensive position in the
04:54Donbass.
04:56Vivaldi's four seasons have ended, but the music continues, declared the 3rd Army Corps.
05:02The achievements of this operation demonstrate Ukraine's ability to carry out successful offensive actions while maintaining a strong defense in
05:10other areas.
05:11All of this contributes to the overall goal of preventing further Russian advances and protecting Ukrainian territory and population centers.
05:20On another note, action from the 3rd season of Operation Vivaldi, the fighters of the 3rd Detachment of the Pomsta,
05:27or Vengeance Brigade, of the Border Guard, operating together with the 3rd Army Corps, shifted from their primary mission as
05:33snipers, providing cover for ally units, to carrying out an infantry assault against the Russian Command Center, from which Russian
05:40commanders coordinated the battle in the sector.
05:43The commander of the detachment's outpost explained that his unit entered Karpivka with the mission of acting as snipers tasked
05:52with intercepting the movements of Russian assault groups toward nearby Ukrainian infantry positions, but the mission changed when they located
06:00a building from where the enemy commanders were coordinating the actions of the horde in the area,
06:05which was under continuous artillery fire and attacks from fiber-optic guided drones, making movement extremely dangerous.
06:12However, maintaining a mere surveillance posture would have left the command node intact, so they decided to assault the position.
06:21To do this, the small group approached the building undetected, proceeding to clear it, thus avoiding the need to call
06:27in an assault infantry team, which would have had to risk casualties by crossing the gray zone under observation and
06:32enemy fire.
06:35The neutralization of this coordination point directly diminished the invaders' ability to direct and coordinate the actions of their local
06:42infantry units, their artillery, and drone teams against the advancing Ukrainian infantry, thus contributing to the overall objectives of the
06:50third phase of Operation Vivaldi.
06:54But the fourth season has already arrived, and the Third Army Corps announced on October 14, the end of the
07:01fourth, and final phase of Operation Vivaldi in the northern Donetsk region.
07:05Under the command of Brigadier General Andrey Vivaldi, Ukrainian forces liberated the settlements of Selenadolina, Lipov and Kolodyasi, reclaiming an
07:16additional 101 square kilometers of territory, and causing, in this stage alone, approximately 3,000 casualties among the invaders of
07:24the horde.
07:25Throughout the four phases of the operation, which began under strict operational silence, and was only publicly confirmed in mid
07:33-September, 2026, the Ukrainian forces managed to re-establish full control over 16 localities liberating a total of 277 square
07:42kilometers.
07:43The Third Corps estimates that the accumulated Russian casualties across all seasons amount to 8,000 invaders.
07:51The operation began with the systematic elimination of Russian infiltration groups in the rear and kreison of the front, and
07:57turned into a rapid and coordinated counter-offensive, which pushed back elements of the 20th and 25th combined arms armies
08:04of Mordor.
08:06General Vilecki stated,
08:08We prevented the enemy from flanking and encircling the urban area formed by Slovyansk and Kramatorsk, while securing the road
08:16between Kharkiv and Slovyansk.
08:18The enemy failed to cut this key logistical artery, which is crucial for supplying our forces operating in the Donbass.
08:26Additionally, we disrupted the offensive of the Zapat Army Group, and forced them to deploy part of the First Guards
08:32Tank Army in our sector, which reduced the pressure on the Kupiansk Front.
08:37The defenders channeled the Russian troops into pre-prepared kill zones, where the fighters of the Troika, as the Terrarami
08:43Corps is called among the soldiers, eliminated more than 250 occupiers in an area of just 100 by 100 meters,
08:52faced with the exhaustion of their infantry reserves in the sector.
08:56Moscow resorted to sending tank crews into combat, electronic warfare specialists, technical support personnel, wounded soldiers, and quite a few
09:04foreign mercenaries.
09:06The defenders attribute the success of the operation to strict operational security control during the initial phases, which were critical,
09:14to the use of asymmetric combat approaches, to the extensive use of unmanned systems, including the deployment of ground robots
09:20flown behind Russian lines, to flanking maneuvers through complex terrain, and to systematic attacks against Russian logistics.
09:30Operation Vivaldi has reversed approximately 18 months of Russian advances toward the main Ukrainian-held stronghold in the Donetsk region.
